However, it does not necessarily indicate a need for immediate mental health assistance. It's important to consider the individual's overall development and other potential factors. Failure to comply with societal rules can be a sign of antisocial behavior or conduct disorders, which may require immediate mental health assistance. This can include behaviors that harm others, violate the rights of others, or majorly violate societal norms.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: While a psychiatrist may be involved in the decision to commit a client involuntarily, simply stating that the client's behavior is irrational does not provide sufficient information about the reasons for commitment (no reference). Involuntary commitment typically occurs when a person's mental illness makes them a danger to themselves or others. It is essential for the nurse to communicate this crucial information to the client's family to help them understand the necessity of treatment. The inability to manage daily life affairs may be a factor in considering involuntary commitment, but it is not the primary reason for such a decision (no reference). Accusation of a legal offense is not directly related to involuntary commitment for psychiatric treatment, which focuses on the client's mental health and potential risk to self or others (no reference).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The diagnostic criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADH
D) require a disturbance lasting at least 6 months with at least eight relevant findings. A disturbance lasting at least 9 months is not specified in the diagnostic criteria. The diagnostic criteria for ADHD require a disturbance lasting at least 6 months with at least eight relevant findings. This aligns with the description provided in
Choice B34. The diagnostic criteria for ADHD require a disturbance lasting at least 6 months with at least eight relevant findings. A disturbance lasting at least 3 months is not specified in the diagnostic criteria. The diagnostic criteria for ADHD require a disturbance lasting at least 6 months with at least eight relevant findings. A disturbance lasting at least 12 months is not specified in the diagnostic criteria.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Leaving the client alone to eat might not address the client's paranoid belief that the food is poisoned. It could potentially exacerbate the client's anxiety and paranoia. Asking the client's family to bring in favorite foods might not be feasible in all situations. Moreover, the client might still harbor paranoid beliefs about the food being poisoned. Allowing the client to observe other clients eating the same food can help alleviate the client's paranoid belief that the food is poisoned. Seeing others safely consuming the same food can provide reassurance. Giving the client an 'anti-poison' placebo prior to meals is not an ethical practice. It can potentially undermine the trust in the therapeutic relationship.
